Noble Young also read the report OF
i IIle MILITARY VIZ Ii W NstA-' II
| tition, as follows:
We have had the petition of Liwai
under consideration and find that dur
inc the time said Liwai was fireman
on board the Kaimiloa, he was unable
to perform his duties and his work
had often to be done by other parties.
AS the petition shows, he now reports
himself for duty, or pay without duty.
We are informed by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs that said Liwais was
discharged along with the other hands
when the Kaimlloa was put out of
commission. We respectfully refer the
petition back TO His EXcellency the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. All of
which is respectfully submitted.
(Signed by all the members of the
committee).
Noble Waterhouse presented the
Sanitary Committees report ON three
petitions, praying 1) for the establish
ment of leper hospitals in all the dis
tricts of the islands, (2) that those
badly afflicted be taken to Kalawao
and (3) that those not badly afflicted
be allowed to remain with their
friends.
Committee submit that the petition
ers have not considered the enormous
expense involved in such an under
taking, and one which the Govern
ment could i'll afford at the present
time.
In relation to the latter clauses of the
petitions, the committee submit that
in view of the fact that the present
Ministry have committed themselves
to policy in regard to systematiZing
segregation and, in fact, of adopting
the best possible mode of dealing
with the dread disease of leprosy,
they would therefore recommend
that the petitions above mentioned be
referred to the Board of Health for
their careful consideration. The re-
port is signed by all the members of
the committee, Henry Waterhouse,
John Richardson, II. Deacon, G.. +.
Horner and d. Kamai.
Noble WidemaIln said the Finance
Committee were ready to report on
Noble Hitchcocl's resolution, relat-
ing to the Auditor-General, but as the
Auditor General has resigned, the
committee asked to be relieved of re-
porting.
Noble Hitchcock, seconded by Noble |
Castle, moved the committee be ex-
cused from reporting.
Noble Waterhouse asked the Minis |
ters if the Auditor General had re-
signed.
Minister Brown answered that they |
were unaware of a resignation.
Minister Green said the Registrar of |
Accounts told him yesterday that the |
Auditor-General had resigned. He, |
the Minister, had directed the said |
Registrar to ascertain particularly |
about the matter; and he met the
Registrar again later in the day, when
he informed him that the first infor-
nation was correct.
The Minister said he had no reason
to doubt the fact, although the Minis
ters had no official notice of it.
Noble Hitchcock withdrew his mo-
ton, and, after some explanations, it
was finally settled that the Finance
Committee hold their report ON this
matter till tomorrow.
Minister Ashford read the report of
the special committee ON the bills to
abolish the office of Governor, and to
provide for the discharge of duties
heretofore pertaining to the Cover
nor's office.
TO the Hon. S. G. Wilder, President of the
Legislature, Sir Your select committee, to

respectively, An Act to provide for the dis
charge of certain duties heretofore dis
charged by the Governors of the different
islands," and San Act to abolish the Office of

had under consideration the bills named and
have reached the following conclusions:

functions are conferred, and duties imposed
upon the Governors of the. different islands,
to wit
By sections 30-31 of the Civil Code, it is
